3 on 2 conditioner

Lancaster Ohio - Gus Macker Basketball - 2011 by Rubbertoe on Flickr

Have 3 players w/ball on one end of the court,as well as 2 defenders on the other end. Next, split up remaining players on both sides, at half court.

Instructions

As the 3 offensive players pass half court, a player from one line runs out, touches center court and trails as a defensive player. At the same time 2 players run out from the other line, touch center court as well, and run to the other end of the floor. After the defenders have rebounded the ball or surrendered a basket, they will then become the 3 offensive players against the 2 who ran out to the other end of the floor.

Tips

Make sure to stress to the offense that they must score quickly or face a 3 on 3 situation instead of 3 on 2. This drill is also great as a conditioning drill since players are constantly rotating off and on the court.
